Our companion tour boat through one of the many beautiful arches that abound in these islands. Note the birds everywhere! Oh — and yes, direct hits from those birds are not unheard of. In fact, I took one — a direct hit to the head. Another guy on the boat took one as well, but I was the first. I’ve heard it is a sign of good luck? 
Pelicans, pelicans everywhere! At some point early in the trip when we first saw pelicans, I told Will that me and his Uncle Skip were nick-named “Pelicans” by our grandparents. A good twenty minutes later when we came by a big group of pelicans, Will pointed at them and shouted “Mommy!” “Yes” I said, “Mommy and Uncle Skip were called ‘Pelicans.'” Will then started to point at them and call “Skip!” He *really* made us laugh when, after a few moments of shouting out “Skip!” he called out “Emily!” So apparently, all three of us are now pelicans in his eyes!
